Rangers Employees Fear For Health Amid Positive COVID-19 Tests
4 years agoTexas Rangers employees told ESPN on Friday that they fear for their health and hope the team will allow them to work from home after feeling pressure to come into the office after the revelation that multiple co-workers have tested positive for COVID-19. Multiple employees said that their managers said working from home was not an option, but there was never an explicit mandate. "We are terrified for our safety," said one employee who works for the team. More than 100 people work in the Rangers executive offices and more than 200 are at the stadium on a daily basis. The Rangers will sanitize their offices over the weekend, offer coronavirus tests to employees next week and could reassess their work-from-home policy. With COVID-19 cases on the rise, especially in Texas, it's fair to wonder if MLB's 60-game season will be able to start on time or run its course through September.
